Experienced rock-climbers will find recognised gritstone climbs at Laddow Rocks, Brockholes Quarry and Crowden Great Quarry, among others. See Peak Rock Climbs vol.2: Kinder and Bleaklow (BMC, 2001).
Grade-II-listed mid-18th-century chapel. Among Victorian slate gravestones in the churchyard are the unmarked graves of navvies who died working on the Woodhead Tunnels. A simple and affecting building (interior usually locked) in an atmospheric spot, with a well-preserved cobbled quarrymen's track leading up the hill behind the church to Loftend Quarry. Occasional Anglican services.
Three railway tunnels, closed to rail traffic since 1981. Woodhead 1 was one of the world's longest railway tunnels when it opened in 1845. The imposing tunnel entrances are at the end of the Longdendale Trail.
